History
The station was first announced on 20 August 2010 when the 16 stations of the 21-kilometre (13 mi) Downtown line Stage 3 (DTL3) from the River Valley (now Fort Canning) to Expo stations were unveiled. The line was expected to be completed in 2017.[1][2][3] Contract 929 for the construction of Kaki Bukit station was awarded to China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited at a sum of S$93.8 million (US$74.58 million) in June 2011. Construction of the station and the tunnels commenced in July that year and was targeted to be completed in 2017.[4]
Kaki Bukit Avenue 1 was closed from 28 August 2011 to 23 April 2016 to facilitate the construction of the station. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) widened the adjacent roads, Jalan Tenaga and Jalan Damai, by one lane in each direction. On 24 April 2016, selected bus routes such as 5, 15, 58, 59 and 87 were diverted to ply the reopened stretch of Kaki Bukit Avenue 1. Bus 585 continued to travel along Jalan Tenaga and Jalan Damai.[5][6][7]
On 31 May 2017, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that the station, together with the rest of DTL3, will be opened on 21 October that year.[8][9][10] Passengers were offered a preview of the station along with the other Downtown Line 3 (DTL 3) stations at the DTL 3 Open House on 15 October.[11]
